system are they fulfilled with all they need in it, or do they work towards an end?
Honestly, I have no idea what the Buddhists think or believe. It was just an example of other people worshiping someone other than Jesus, and how Christians would say that they are fools. I am more astonished at how today's Jewish people still only believe in the God of the Old Testament, and do NOT believe at all in Jesus Christ. They are still apparently waiting for their 'Messiah'. I find this odd, because during the time of Christ, while He walked the earth and performed His miracles, surely the Jews would have been convinced 2,000 years ago....but they were not. Fast forward to present day, where seemingly endless translations of His words have taken place, and MANY debates about what the text 'meant' to say in Greek, or Arabic, or whatever language.....and a modern day person must believe in something now, that the Jews at the time did not.....and still don't.
For someone who may be seeking Jesus to be their God, and gathering information, it doesn't appear to be a 'cut and dry' issue. What aggravates me is how many people will firmly give their advice on the matter as if they themselves were seated at the Last Supper with Jesus, and got firsthand knowledge of what He meant to say, and how they should believe.
